Alexander McQueen

Just having a look at the new Alexander McQueen collection for Spring/Summer 2012 and I really like it! Sarah Burton still keeps that kooky, innovative vibe with the face coverings and the intricate detailing on the garments but quite a few of the evening dresses could be worn to an event without looking too gaga. I really admire the way her designs always look like something new and something  I've not seen before.

Oscars

Here's my verdict on the best dressed from last night's Oscars. First up is Halle Berry in Marchesa, this dress is so simple but so elegant, less is definitely more. Hilary Swank wore this beautiful Gucci gown, again extremely subtle with the tiny feather details. There couldn't be a red carpet without an appearance from Elie Saab (one of my favourite designers), Mila Kunis wore one of his dresses and looks stunning, I don't think you can actually go wrong with Elie Saab. Also, just as a little extra, I want to mention how nice I think Russell Brand's mum; Barbara, looks. It just shows you don't have to show a lot of skin to look good!

Golden Globes

3 posts in 2 days! I am good to you! :P Anyways, here is my verdict on the best and worst dressed of the Golden Globes 2011. First off, Dianna Agron (yes, I am a Gleek) in this stunning J. Mendel dress, I always think less is definitely more and this outfit just proves it! There has been a lot of discussion about Sanda Bullock's new hair do, but I personally really like it, I think it makes her look younger, and her dress by Jenny Packham (a safe move as she makes beautiful dresses!) is really nice, a bit of sparkle but not too much that she looks like she is trying too hard. Next up, Eva Longoria, who in my opinion always looks classy, and continues to in this Zac Posen gown, I especially love the neckline, (as me and my flatmate were saying we like necklines like this! :D) Now on to the not so good ones, January Jones what ever possessed you to wear this dress, for me there's just too many cut out section and her boobs look like they will break free at any moment: not a good look. I know it is Versace but just because it's designer doesn't mean its nice! And for the absolute worst dressed of the night is Tilda Swinton in this Jonathan Saunders creation, for me it was the wrong piece to pick from the collection, Drew Barrymore wore a JS dress not too long ago and looked quite nice in it. For me the skirt looks like its not fully finished and they didn't have time to make a top so sent her out in one of her own shirts, it just looks very odd to me!

Another big trend that I have seen a lot on recently on the high street is birds! Here are a few pieces I have seen, although this is something I don't think I would buy into I can see it being quite popular, especially, the jewellery as I think it is a cheap way to update an outfit :D

2011!!!

This is my first blog of 2011 and I promise you I will try to post at least once a week (hopefully). As the stores start to get new items in for spring/summer (very exciting!) I have chosen a few of my favourite items and trends that I think will be massive! The main trend that has been on all the catwalks is 70's Style, yes lots of flared denims, tan accessories and boho. I have chosen a few items that I think fit this trend really well! (and of course are super duper nice! :D) The first item I came across was this beautiful pair of tan Topshop wedges, I just think they are beautiful, although they are £65 and will be way too high for a tally like me, they would definitely fit in nicely with the 70's theme, plus the fact that tan goes with anything! The second item is this floral print blouse from New Look at only £19.99, I just think it's really pretty and not only does it fit in with the 70's trend but also the trend for blouses. Even just with a pair of jeans I think a blouse makes a sophisticated outfit! And to finish, this cool jumpsuit from Warehouse priced at £55, I know it's a little bit kooky and takes a certain type of person to pull it off but I do quite like it and they are a simple way to look on-trend. :D

X Factor

As I haven't done a post in a little while I have decided to give you a double whammy on X Factor outfits! Right, let's start with Saturday night, Cheryl wore this cutesy little white dress designed by Stéphane Rolland. I'm in two minds about this dress, I can't decide whether there's too much fabric and it drowns her tiny little frame or if she can pull off because she is so tiny, she just looks more of a normal size :S. Anyways, onto Dannii's Saturday night dress by Aurelio Costarella, what can I say it's simple but elegant, exactly what I expect from Dannii. On to Sunday night, and Cheryl wears this stunning black and lace dress with a funky hem, I really do like this dress, however, when she was walking across the stage she was having trouble with the train of the dress, not the most practical dress in the world. On the other hand Dannii finally went a bit daring with her outfits and didn't look as mumsy as usual. I thought this dress was stunning, still classy and elegant but had that little bit extra sex appeal which I definitely think she needed seeing as she sits next to Cheryl Cole every week.
